A Cold and Comma

First off, thank you to all of those that responded yesterday with your favorite color combo's.  It truly helped to brighten my day.  I awoke this morning with a not so nice cold, so at least I know now why my brain was scrambled :)  Here's hoping it comes and goes quickly :)

I realized that I haven't done a WIP post in some time. (like over a month). Which is kind of fun to wait a while because it really shakes the list up :)  And the more moving around the better, right :)

So here's a few of the things from the list that  I am working on right now :)

The last two days I have been playing with the fabulous Comma by Zen Chic for Moda.  These are some fantastic prints to work with.  So bold and fun!!!  I am working on whipping up a fun, chic, baby blanket for the MBS April Showers month :)  So yup, tutorial coming soon!!

I am also working on pulling out this little WIP.  I have had the whole cloth done for some time and then it kind of got buried by some secret projects.  I am at a point with lots of pinning, so the plan is to do a little pinning each night, while the husband and I have a Harry Potter Marathon.

And of course, there are lots of other projects in stages of finish, but well just leave it at the thing that keeps me sain,  The Master WIP list ;)

Ho Hum, so a Color Question

Okay, keeping it real here.  I have started and stopped like 5 other posts.  My mind is all over the place this morning.  I have so much that I should be doing (that's what happens when you go out of town for a weekend)  and all I want to do is curl up on the couch and take a nap.  It appears it's going to be one of those Ho Hum type of days that you just have to manage to push through.

So . . . since I can't focus any of my thoughts . . . I thought maybe I would pick your thoughts today.  So, tell me, what is your favorite color combo's??  2 color, 3 color, 4 color, whatever.  What colors do you tend to put together over and over again and always love them??

I am excited to see what your fav's are!!  And maybe I can play with some fabric in your favorite colors to help turn my day around.  Nothing makes me smile like playing with fabric :)

Wow!!!  Thank you so much for all of the incredible sweet comments on my  Read With Me Quilt and Tutorial.  You all sure know how to make a gal feel fantastic!! In fact, I felt so fantastic about this quilt thanks to all of your wonderful compliments, that this weekend . . . 

I added a cute little label to the back . . . 

And added a quilt sleeve . . . 

And entered it into the Salt Lake Home Machine Quilting Show!!!!!   I am so excited.  Honestly, I wasn't planning on this at all.  But we were going to Salt Lake this weekend and my mom has agreed to drop it off and pick it up and the show is May 9-11 so she is bringing it right back to me before I leave for Market as she is watching the kids, so basically no shipping involved.  And then all of your wonderful comments kept coming in and bolstering my confidence and basically, I just ran out of excuses why not to.  

So we will see how it goes.  I don't have any big expectations, but I figured, I might as well give it a go.  Can't hurt to try, right??

Happy Easter

Happy Easter, from our house to yours!!

Here's hoping we don't have any belly aches by the end of the day :)

Easter Bunting Tutorial found here :)

Have You Seen Any Naughty Kittens??

Because it appear's that I have their mittens :)  Laura asked us to make some mittens using Lori Holt's wonderful tutorial for the March Beejeebers block.  She plans to use them in a wonderful "I Spy" quilt where you lay them all out in a mixed up order and then try to find the mates.  Super cute, huh!!!

Oh, and if anyone needs any extra thumbs . . . gotta keep it real ya know :)  I managed to cut my first set of thumbs 3/4" to short.  I guess that happens when you are reading a tutorial, listening to a book, and trying to sort out an argument over which movie the kids get to watch, all at the same time. Sure, we mom's can multi-task, you just don't always like the results you get from doing it :)
